@Morfinyon There's a reason East Germany overthrew their socialist regime. Just sayin'.

Their regime wasn't really socialist and the country didn't have a socialist revolution. Also it was bureaucratically degenerated and the bureaucratic elite hindered any kind of progress. Arguably it was still better than what we have now but the people rightfully wanted a political revolution. However, they didn't want the GDR to become a capitalist country, they just wanted more democracy, hence 'political' revolution. Instead of getting a actual socialism (socialism needs democracy like the body needs oxygen) they got a shitty capitalist oligarchy and now are rightfully pissed off which has allowed the far-right to grow insanely fast especially in the East since the left parties are kind of shit in Eastern Germany.
